I talked with some friends about that and the idea of a "internet marathon" has deeply tempted them, so I dunno how things will turn out but I might end up being forced to participate by them and all of this while drunk, if not well I guess that I'll do my best to pop around a bit since my schedule has saturday as a work day...

So you take out a Magnum Research BFR chambered in.500 S&W Magnum cal... You know the drill... Goes through everythin' like if it was butter.

What you got there is an analysis of the penetration of high cal into a flesh body, the M16's bullet being 5.56, however I'll let you know that a Micro Uzi can only be chambered in small cal such as 9mm or 22lr...

While if you wanna try to protect yourself from some 5.56 NATO or 7.62, I wish you good fuckin luck, shit's even going through sandbags... I swear that it would be a huge progress to even regulate the circulations of weapons of war, just calculate the chances of surviving a blast of 22.long vs a goddamn 5.56 out of a AR-15, excluding the possibility of a headshot, chances of survival are always higher with small calibers...

I'm not convinced that having everyone walk around with a 'bulletproof' vest is the solution here

Boosts chances of survival however. In my opinion the main issue is social there, massive shootings happen in school for a reason, and if automatic weapons weren't there you can be sure who did that would've done it with as much as a lawnmower blade or a makeshift flamethrower, if not even both, the weapons themselves ain't pushing these dudes on the edge of postalness.Now I picture a kid grabbing The great communicator for a massacre... Weapons surely boost the bodycount though, but the trend of more and more dudes being pushed to their lower instincts is surely caused by something...
